Things to Do  

Sunbathe

Sunbathe, Ixos

 steventilly Says:  Apart from windsurfing (and eating/drinking) the only other obvious thing to do in Ixia is sunbathe. The beaches here are quite narrow and pebbly, but there are sunbeds for hire at various locations and the obligatory tavernas behind the beach and watersport kiosks on them.... 

Walk The Shore

Walk The Shore, Ixos

 steventilly Says:  The walk along the shore from Rhodes Town to Ixia took us about 2 hours in each direction. It starts off as a promenade cut into the rock face, between the rocks and the sea, and off this promenade are steps down to some little rocky coves. Further along it opens up and is... 

Windsurfing

Windsurfing, Ixos

 steventilly Says:  I'm not into windsurfing, but lots of people were. The sea was thick with windsurfers at Ixia, some of them moving very quickly indeed. In fact they were the fastest windsurfers I've seen. With Turkey just across the water I wondered if any surfers made the crossing,...

The Windmill: Converted Windmill

The Windmill: Converted Windmill, Ixos

Transportation  

Take A Long, Long Walk

Take A Long, Long Walk, Ixos

 steventilly Says:  We walked from Rhodes town to Ixia and back. In fact we ended up beyond Ixia, part way between there and Trianda. It was a lovely walk, following the sea shore for virtually the whole way and passing a variety of different architectures as we passed through areas of high and... 

Shopping  

REALLY Fresh Fish!: Fresh Fish

REALLY Fresh Fish!: Fresh Fish, Ixos

 steventilly Says:  Whilst at the beach at Ixia this small fishing boat hauled up. A row boat went out to meet it and brought the catch back to shore, where they set up a stall from which to sell the fish. Now that's what I call fresh, literally just off the boat. Naturally we didn't buy... 

Loads Of Them: Headscarfes Galore

Loads Of Them: Headscarfes Galore, Ixos

 steventilly Says:  There are tons of shops lining the road at Ixia, ranging from quite decently large supermarkets down to tiny individual shops. a lot of the touristy shops sold these headscarf things that everyone seemed to be wearing. We thought they were quite cute so we joined the craze....

More Commonly Known As Ixia

 Ixia is a large purpose built resort along the coast from Rhodes town. As such it's not everyone's cup of tea, certainly not somewhere I'd stay, though my sister & parents quite like it. Amongst other...
